http://diary-vinu.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 16, 2007. The Great Indian Railways. If at all I wanted to write something amazing in my life, it had to be about my journeys on Indian Railways. It brings into me a sense of belongingness and excitement that is incomparable with anything else. I have travelled in the best berths in the second AC, where the only people you find when you get in are either elderly couples who if you start talking, will praise their sons to death or young newly married couples who stare at you if you turn y...

Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Wanted to write this from a long time now.No Time! Is a common excuse normally given but then, that is not the case here. Just did not have the intent to sit and write something is the real reason. But I will have to accept the fact that I was afraid for sure. The intermediate stop during the flight was London Heathrow. Nah, how can that be, I am not in India. Turned back just in case it was someone, aah,. As if I know the nook and corners of montreal. India" I replied proudly.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind: May 2009
http://diary-vinu.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. I open my arms far and wide to hold the whole wide sky,. I open my heart to the tiny droplets that refresh my skin so dry,.

The first thing that come to my mind when I think about rain has to be pakodas(mmmmm). Imagine sitting on a chair in the balcony, chating with my sister with rain lashing down outside and you have that lip-smaking pakodas made...

Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Why did Gandhi Die?
http://diary-vinu.blogspot.com/2008/01/why-did-gandhi-did.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Why did Gandhi Die? Which may be translated as "Oh God"]. These are widely believed to be Gandhi's last words after he was shot. I choose to write something about a man who lived his life in a way that made millions follow him and who left a legacy that was worth following even after his death.
